VGamingJunkie Posted October 11, 2015 I have a base of sorts that's underwater and the sectors above and below the 3D floors are set to sector fade to blue to give it that effect but it seems to bleed into the base itself when the ceiling 3D floors weren't given any tag for sector fade. I even tried deliberately setting it to sector fade of a different color and that worked but I'd rather the base be cleared of fog period. 0 Share this post Link to post
Gez Posted October 11, 2015 ZDoom I suppose? If so, have you tried flags 1 or 2? http://zdoom.org/wiki/Sector_Set3dFloor 0 Share this post Link to post
VGamingJunkie Posted October 11, 2015 Sorry for not specifying. Yeah, it's (G)ZDoom and that actually seemed to make the fog more pronounced. 0 Share this post Link to post
Dave The Daring Posted October 11, 2015 Maybe a screen shot of your problem would help. I do a lot of work with 3D floors, but I don't use fog. If I could see the problem I may be able to replicate it and then see if there's a solution. No promises though. 0 Share this post Link to post

Angry Saint Posted October 11, 2015 I think you can't have fog only above or below a 3d floor. This is the way 3d floors work in gzdoom. 0 Share this post Link to post

VGamingJunkie Posted October 11, 2015 For your convenience, I've made a demonstration WAD to show you the issue. You can see the inner tube fades to red even though the ceiling 3D floor that should determine its lighting has no fade property. http://www.mediafire.com/download/b2wqzg7wwypb85b/3DFloorFog.wad 0 Share this post Link to post

The only thing I found that worked in the example provided was removing the fade from the sector the player walks in, but then when you're outside of the tunnel looking in, it looks awful. I'm interested what the correct solution is, if there even is one. 0 Share this post Link to post
VGamingJunkie Posted October 11, 2015 That wouldn't work because the base has glass tubes in different directions so you'd easily be able to see that ugly side-effect. 0 Share this post Link to post

VGamingJunkie Posted October 12, 2015 Let me know if you find anything, it may just be an inherent problem with how (G)ZDoom handles sector fog and 3D floors. I noticed something, if I give the ceiling 3D floor a fading out property, it has that colored fog completely covering the sectors but still fades out to the same color as the outside. 0 Share this post Link to post
Dave The Daring Posted October 12, 2015 Nothing yet, but I have some ideas. I'll resume tomorrow. 0 Share this post Link to post
VGamingJunkie Posted October 12, 2015 Just in case, I reported it as a bug in the ZDoom Forums since this doesn't seem like something that should happen. 0 Share this post Link to post
Dave The Daring Posted October 12, 2015 Okay, good. I'll give it another go tomorrow, just in case I stumble upon the solution. 0 Share this post Link to post
Aliotroph? Posted October 12, 2015 It does work, but it's weird with black. Try setting the black control sector to blue instead. Inside the tube becomes a really bright blue with the red outside still visible. If you noclip outside you don't see the blue through the translucent sides of the tube. For some reason, setting the fog to black is a much less intense effect than setting it to some bright colour. The visible red from outside the tube appears to overwhelm the black fog in the tube. 0 Share this post Link to post
VGamingJunkie Posted October 12, 2015 Graf claims it isn't a bug, that "Fog with 3D floors is translated into a screen blend". 0 Share this post Link to post
Dragonfly Posted October 12, 2015 Seems like one of those situations you've just got to 'suck it up'. One question - can the player access these outside areas? If not, you could put a translucent 3D floor just past the glass windows to 'simulate' a foggy environment, and then place more 'fog layers' further away so it still thickens in the distance. It wouldn't be as good, but it's a fallback option nonetheless. 0 Share this post Link to post
VGamingJunkie Posted October 12, 2015 Graf confirmed it, it's just how the fog works. 0 Share this post Link to post
